Knockout's Championship Match

http://youtu.be/dug7n09V5qY It is now time for the first championship contest of the night, as Tara will defend her TNA Knockouts' Championship against three challengers - Velvet Sky, Gail Kim and Brooker Tessmacher, who have all recently been successful in matches both alongside or against the champion. And to ensure that the presence of the champion's lip warmer Jesse does not become an issue, the head of the Knockouts Division Brooke Hogan will be at ringside to watch over the contest. I guess Taryn Terrell the referee really can't be trusted at the moment. Immediately Hogan makes an impact, instructing Terrell to remove Jesse from ringside, and recently that has had bad reprecussions in Tara's matches. With the action underway, there are a number of quick pin attempts from all the knockouts, before we see an attempted victory roll by Tessmacher blocked into an effective electric chair by Tara. This leaves Sky at the mercy of the temporarily combined force of Tara and Kim. But, when Tara attempts a pin on Sky following a side slam, it becomes apparent that Kim wanted the pin herself, and the friction between the two egotistical knockouts leads the the breaking of their short-lived union. Kim is then taken down by an impressive bulldog by Tessmacher on the outside, which gives her and Sky to hand out some double punishment to the champion in the ring. But, following a moonsault by Tara on Tessmacher, Sky is able to capitalise with the In Your Face, and Kim is able to sneak into the ring and pin the champion. Now we are down to three women and are guaranteed a new Knockout's Champion. The three knockouts show no favourites in battling with each other, and following an attempted superplex by Kim on Tessmacher, Sky is able to transition this into a Tower of Doom, and gets a nearfall on her fallen adversaries. However, it is not long before another elimination is accounted for, as Sky reverses a roll-up attempt from Tessmacher into her own pinning position to get the second elimination. It is now Sky vs. Kim with the title on the line. Kim is soon into the pin on Sky, but it is broken up by Terrell due to Kim using the ropes for leverage. Kim once again gets in the face of Terrell who she has blamed for recent defeats, and the conclusion to the match is brought about by Terrell pushing Kim to the floor following another cheating manoeuver. Sky is then able to connect with another In Your Face and she becomes a two-time Knockout's Champion. WINNER, AND NEW KNOCKOUT'S CHAMPION: Velvet Sky
